the roof the roof the roof is on fire

I can't believe I'm seeing this. Aikawa just murdered Mifeng--Melissa--and now--

I'll just livestream it to you.

[What follows is Sora resurrecting Mifeng from the dead?]

Also, I've no idea what's happening on the roof but it doesn't seem to be anything good.

So.

That's what it looks like?

[bypartisan]

When people come back from the dead? Evidently.

[fridgeninja]

I haven't seen it from this side before.

[bypartisan]

... you've seen it from the other side?

[fridgeninja]

Not by her.

Mm, it's probably not relevant at the moment.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ROOF I THOUGHT IT'D BE THE SAFEST PLACE FOR A STATUE I WAS WRONG I WAS SO VERY WRONG WHY IS MATTHEW HERE ON THE ROOF WITH THE FIRE AND THE YELLING AND COME ON MAN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME WHERE HE WAS!

[Enjoy that very loud, barely coherent screeching, folks!]

I GOT DISTRACTED BY HIS DAUGHTER BRINGING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE.

What the hell is happening up there-- no, wait, don't tell me. Just livestream it.

[failgoyle]

THERE IS TOO MUCH FIRE FOR ME TO CARE ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD ALRIGHT BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SEND HER OVER HERE IF HE SEES ME!

...and how in the hell would I even do that? IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE A GO-PRO AND THE INTERNET OVER HERE!

SENSORY LIVESTREAM IT, YOU NINCOMPOOP. Show us what you're seeing! It's not hard! Use your eyes and ears as audiovisual scanners! Like-- [think Vorrutyer, what did people use at the expo] like cameras!

[failgoyle]

WHAT, LIKE I THINK REALLY HARD ON THIS?

[Why are they yelling? Probably because this is freaking terrifying. Eventually, Jules manages it--possibly out of spite--and shows a video from a very awkward rooftop perch, wherein he's got a gargoyle's eye view of a very fiery fight. The angle's strange; Jules is in a weird, unnatural position, the better to play statue with. (Oddly enough, there is one of Jules's hands visible, and though it looks like stone as part of his disguise, it's also clawed and decidedly unnatural-looking.) That he's staying perfectly still is pretty much a minor miracle.

...or a sign he's just too scared to move at this point.]

SHIT'S GOING DOWN, THAT'S ALL I GOT!

[bypartisan]

Dear lord.

[The fight plays out with the old man getting set on fire and thrown off the roof--it's hard to see with all the smoke bombs, but Jules has actually moved a little to get a better look, and as soon as Masshuu looks at him, there's a yelp and the feed cuts off.]

OKAY, that's IT! I'm done. Done. Let me just lie here on this stupid pile of coins, I tried.
